The world made a #PledgeForParity in 2016

Across the world, people and groups made a #PledgeForParity - and the pledges still
continue today, so have you made a pledge yet? For International Women's Day 2017,
we asked the world to step up and take bold action to help
accelerate gender parity via the #BeBoldForChange IWD 2017 campaign theme.

Here's who has been making their #PledgeForParity

See how people around the world have been sharing their #PledgeForParity socially once they've pledged. And
remember you can still make a pledge because there remains a lot of work to do to help accelerate gender parity across the world.
Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.

Run your own #PledgeForParity campaign

One of the most powerful ways you can influence how quickly gender parity is achieved is through championing your own
#PledgeForParity campaign. Helping others recognize the impact of their
actions on behalf of women, cascades awareness and behavioural change which accelerates achievement of the economic value of gender
parity.

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The
day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the
first​ ​March 8​ ​IWD gathering supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the​ Socialist Party
of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women equality. Today, IWD belongs to all groups
collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organisation specific.​ Make IWD your day! - everyday!
